The Technology Behind The Glove

The Process

Key Facts • Gloves are currently made from virgin polyester derived from oil. • By not using virgin polyester we are using less oil per pair and the manufacturing process also requires less water usage. • The process of refining oil for polyester production releases carbon dioxide, using recycled PET uses less CO₂ per pair. • Our plastic free packaging will ensure the residual packaging made of paper and card can easily be recycled for a new life cycle.
